Setting the record straight once again on Dalton Springer..

here's the thing...Dalton was a beautiful little 3 year old baby boy that is now dead. I am so sick of the bullshit that goes along with this case!Kim and I have NEVER chosen J.C. or Tiffini in this case.We have chose Dalton everytime...We DO NOT know who killed him. We were not in the house that night. Here is what we DO KNOW......Dalton was a beautiful 3 year old boy that was brutally beaten to death. He died from "Multiple blunt force trama"He had a history of abuse. He had 5 healing fractures in diffenet stages at the time of his death. (This is all public record if you would like to check it out)He was removed from the home by Children's Services and then returned to the home.Tiffini has spoken with us on numerous occasions and wanted to do the interview to tell her side of the story.We did her interview. We have never heard from J.C.Kim and I fight for Dalton everyday. We carry a candle around with us to every event and light it in Daltons' memory. We do this because we have still not received permission from Tiffini's family to place the candle on his grave. The candle was purchased on July 28th. We are still waiting.....We have met people on both sides of the family. Dispite all of the bickering between J.C. and Tiffini, the one common bond is that they both have family members that are devistated over this.I have met Tiffini's Aunt and cousin that were clearly effected by all the pictures of Dalton that we have hanging all over the place at our booth. We have taked to them several times. J.C.'s family particularly his Mom and sister Amy come to every event that we have. They have bought t-shirts, they are constantly in communication with me and above all of that, one thing that they do have in common is that they are hurting.Honestly, to me personally, I don't care who says what and who did what to whom. The fact is, he is dead and in my opinion, it is the saddest situation that I have ever came across. I cry over Dalton. I have nightmares about what happened to that little boy and I did not even know him. So Emma, and Tiffini and anyone else that wants to say that I am choosing sides, you bet your ass I am...I choose Dalton. And I choose the family members that I have come to know and that are hurting... The rest of it I could care less about! Belinda

BELINDA-I AGREE WITH YOU 100%-THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE CONTACT WITH YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT REALLY CARE-HOW DISGUTING IT IS THAT THE SPRINGER FAMILY HAS NEVER GIVEN YOU PERMISSION TO PLACE THAT CANDLE ON DALTONS' GRAVE-IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR OWN GRANDSON AND SON!!!!

It's like they think it's about them...hm wrong it's about their baby boy. I still can't believe they wont let you put the candle up. I'm sorry but if that was my child Id welcome all the help and support I could get. Hold it together you're doing something wonderful Belinda they'll see that sometime..hopefully.

Belinda,I sent you a message and stated that I had the permission that you needed.... I told you at Lisbon Fair that I would get it for you and I did that..I do support everything that you and the organization are doing.... I have never said a thing negative about the group... I know that my family haven't done the right thing when it came to the headstone... I was very upset over it and I have also got them to replace it and stop the fighting over this...So please get in touch with me and we can get this all settled... I know you get upset over the case. I myself get pissed everytime I read things on here... Not because I am being attacked but Dalton is being lost in the words of people...No-one knows how a person greavies or how you are suppost to... I was told in councling that everyone greaves in thier own way... So how is someone suppost to tell you how to feel!!!!Belinda, Kim, THANKS FOR ALL THAT YOU ARE DOING FOR DALTON LANE SPRINGER!!!!

Tiffini contacted me last week and said that she has had the permission slip for some time and was suppose to meet me in Calcutta on Friday to give it to me so that I could go to the cemetary and put it on the grave. Appearently, she got called into work and didn't go. I emailed her aand asked if she wanted to re-schedule and have not heard from her yet.

I have to say I agree with the previous poster! There "used" to be a headstone on this babies grave and it's gone so I highly doubt a candle will stay. It seems to me that your organization and you Kim as a person care more about this poor child and his case than his own egg donor does. I think you should keep the candle with you and light it at functions. SOMEONE has to keep this childs memory alive, why not let it be people who TRUELY care!
